Chapter 57: Preparation
Relatively wordless.
Gao Qingshu opened his mouth several times to say something, but when he saw the firm and unshakable expression on Chen Xi's face, he felt that any words he said were superfluous. He suddenly realized that he was not facing a teenager at all, but an adult who had already been able to take charge of himself.
"Since you have chosen so, then I have nothing more to say. â
In the end, Gao Qingshu just sighed, walked to the side of the kang and lifted the pillow, took out a book that looked extremely old from underneath and handed it to Chen Xi: "This is the exercise that your father taught me back then, and it was not yet formed at that time, so I didn't even have a name." These are all written down by myself based on memory, and there may be some deviations, so I have not taken them out to you. â
Chen Xi took the book with both hands and did not say thank you. Because the affection is like this, it is impossible to say thank you. He solemnly put the book away, took a step back, and then took a deep splinter. Gao Qingshu didn't stop him and accepted his worship.
"I originally wanted to do my best so that you can get the best teaching in the Great Mantian Sect, and after you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you will think about revenge, but now it seems that I am wrong. â
Chen Xi replied: "My parents are suffering and don't dare to wait any longer. Master Yangzhao pressed me not to leave the Seven Yang Valley for ten years, and these ten years have been torment. As a son of man, even if he dies, he must fulfill his last trace of filial piety. I know that my husband is all for my good, and he wants me to have enough strength to save them again. But I don't know how long my parents can hold out, I've been to the Nine Shades Dungeon, and I can't imagine how they managed to hold on for ten years in that place. â
Gao Qingshu said: "I know that since you have decided to change your character, then I will tell you everything I know...... Let's start with the Nine Shades Dungeon, which is rumored to lead to a place called the Endless Abyss. No one can explain why there is a zĂ i in that place, and how so many powerful zĂ i in it are suppressed there. You should have seen those two old men in red robes...... They have been there for four hundred years. â
Chen Xi was shocked, he really didn't expect that the two old men had lived for so long.
Gao Qingshu continued: "When Li Lanfeng built the Fortune Tower, he built the Nine Shadows Dungeon. Therefore, some people say that those things in the Endless Abyss were suppressed there by Li Lanfeng back then. Those things were too powerful, so powerful that Li Lanfeng could defeat them but couldn't kill them, so he threw them all into the endless abyss. The Nine Shadows Dungeon is a magic circle, so that those things are forever free from the human world. â
Chen Xi asked, "Who are those two old men Li Lanfeng?"
Gao Qingshu said: "I don't know, but it's definitely not the heir of Li Lanfeng." Li Lanfeng only has a single disciple, and I don't know why, the subsequent sect masters of the Little Mantian Sect only accept one disciple, so the secrets about the Changing Fortune Tower and the Nine Shadows Dungeon at the beginning are known only to each generation of sect masters. In your father's generation, because of the mutation, he was imprisoned in the Nine Shadows Dungeon before even the disciples were selected. So now only your father knows the secret, and I guess even your mother doesn't know it. â
Chen Xi listened quietly, he needed to know more and more. Back then, Master Yangzhao didn't allow him to leave the Seven Yang Valley Zen Buddhism prematurely, and the day he took him into the Seven Yang Valley, he told him that you were not allowed to leave within ten years. Now that ten years have passed, Chen Xi has begun to explore the truth step by step according to his plan.
Gao Qingshu sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "The people who held the Dark Law Division didn't kill your parents in the first place, because no matter what method they used, your father didn't tell the secret. So the people in charge of the Dark Law Division sent him to the Nine Shadows Dungeon to see if your father would inadvertently expose anything. â
He glanced at Chen Xi and could feel the pain in Chen Xi's heart: "You can understand it this way, the Endless Abyss is different from the world we live in, it is a world that is separate from this world. Back then, Li Lanfeng must have found some secret of Qingliang Mountain, so he took great risks to go to Kunlun Mountain to find the Nine-colored Stone Town Tower. And Shen Teng came and stayed in this tower...... I suspect it's all because of this endless abyss. â
Chen Xi couldn't help but ask: "Since Mr. was one of the Divine Protectors at the beginning, don't you know what Shenteng is?"
Gao Qingshu shook his head: "I don't know, some of the words I told you before were lied to you." No one in the Twelve Divine Protectors of the Great Mantian Sect had ever seen Shen Teng at all, because we had never been up to the Nine-Story Pagoda. The Sect Master of the Great Mantian Sect only let us work on the eighth floor, and we were never allowed to step on the ninth floor of the tower. â
"So what do you do?"
"Prepare the food...... And clothes. To this day, I don't understand why it's such a trivial matter. Every time we go, we have to prepare a lot of exquisite pastries and prepare all kinds of seasonal fruits. Not only that, but also to prepare a lot of beautiful women's clothes, and every week I have to buy some of these clothes and send them. â
Chen Xi was surprised: "Could it be that Shenteng is a woman?"
Gao Qingshu still shook his head: "I don't know...... Can't be sure what Shenteng is. We also used to think that the so-called Shen Teng was just a great cultivator living in seclusion, so we needed those clothes and food. But one day when we went to deliver something, we saw a tail hanging down from the nine-story tower, and it was very ......"
Chen Xi took a deep breath and quickly sorted out the news he had heard. Gao Qingshu said unpleasantly, and tried his best to tell Chen Xi the important details: "The Transformation Tower and the Nine Shadows Dungeon are completely relative, what the Transformation Tower looks like above, and what the Nine Shadows Dungeon below looks like." The Nine-Colored Stone was to stabilize the stone tower from being destroyed by the tremendous energy of the Endless Abyss, and Shen Teng may have relied on its great strength to suppress those things. â
He said seriously: "This is our speculation over the years, the existence of the Little Mantian Sect is because there is an endless abyss hidden in the Qingliang Mountain. But now, as the generations passed, no one in the inner sect knew what this secret was. â
"What about the Sect Master of the Great Mantian Sect?"
Chen Xi suddenly asked, "Who is he?"
......
......
When Chen Xi asked about the Sect Master of the Great Mantian Sect, Gao Qingshu's face showed a little confused: "Actually, until now, we don't know who the Sect Master of the Great Mantian Sect is. He came twice a year at most, and sometimes not once a year. Every time he came, he would assess the cultivation of his disciples, leave some exercises and leave. â
Chen Xi felt a little weird: "I vaguely remember that my father mentioned the Great Mantian Sect before I left, but I was still young and didn't remember much. Does even my father know who he is?"
Gao Qingshu shook his head: "I don't know...... Your father once told me that before he became the sect master, the sect master of the Great Mantian Sect was that person. Even before the previous Sect Master, the Sect Master of the Great Mantian Sect was that person. Your father suspects that this man may be about the same age as the gatekeeper in the Nine Shades Dungeon...... Every time he appears, he is clearly standing in front of you, and you think you can see his face clearly, but when you turn your head, you realize that you don't remember anything. He didn't hide his face, but no one could remember. â
Chen Xi asked, "Illusion?"
Gao Qingshu shook his head again: "It's not an illusion, but if the illusion is cracked, it will be the time again." No matter how high a person's cultivation is, it is impossible for the illusion to last for a year, and he has not been to the inner sect for a year and a half at most, and if it is an illusion, it has already been dispersed. â
Chen Xi didn't understand why this happened, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he and the sect master of the Great Mantian Sect would not have anything to do with each other, so he simply focused on what he needed to know in front of him: "Sir, it is rumored that Shen Teng has a close relationship with the national teacher, is it true?" â
Gao Qingshu nodded: "The national teacher is indeed very concerned about Shen Teng, and we suspect that the sect master of the Great Man Heavenly Sect is the person of the national teacher." As for the rumors from the outside world, if it is said that Shen Teng is fostered by the national teacher in the re-luck tower, it is naturally the national teacher's intention to release it. There were no such rumors a few years ago, and that was because the Holy Emperor of Great Chu was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and was known as the first powerhouse of Tianfu Big 6. At that time, no one dared to fight the idea of the Holy Emperor's throne...... But now it's different, the Holy Emperor is dying, the nine sons are seizing the heir, and the national teacher has released such news, which is nothing more than to make those people more afraid of him. â
Chen Xi nodded, which was not much different from his own speculation. Thinking that he and Gao Qingshu would have to separate not long after getting along, Chen Xi was indeed a little reluctant in his heart. He walked over and poured a cup of tea for Gao Qingshu, holding it in both hands and handing it over: "Mr. didn't have to worry about my family's affairs, but Mr. endured for ten years to track down the real murderer, which is a great favor to me, but I can't repay it." â
Gao Qingshu took the tea and took a sip, his eyes were a little red: "Back then, your father treated me like a brother, but now he is deep in the underworld, and his family is in great trouble, if I pretend not to care, I will scold myself to death." Your father is generous and righteous, and he is chivalrous, and after his disappearance, there are actually many of his old friends outside the sect who want to find out the truth. However, the Dark Law Division took the matter over, and no one could continue to investigate it by crossing the Dark Law Division. After you go to the Secret Law Division, I will leave the Little Mantian Sect to find those old friends of your father, and after you find out the real culprit, we will help you. â
Chen Xi's face changed color and he bowed solemnly.
Gao Qingshu stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Although you have already made a decision, I still have to warn you...... Over the years, the Dark Law Division has taken away many outstanding disciples from the Inner Sect, all of whom are missing. No one knows what happened to those people, so be extra careful when you go. If something is wrong, withdraw immediately. â
He took out two directional illustrated books from his arms and handed them to Chen Xi: "If you can enter the Dark Law Division, each of them will have an orientation illustrated book." This is my change, it looks the same as theirs, but there are some subtle changes. If you drop a drop of blood on both of these Directional Books, the two Books will communicate. If you are in danger in the Dark Law Division, crush the book, and the piece I have left behind will show your location, and I will do my best to find you. â
Chen Xi nodded, took the two directional illustrated books, and then dripped a drop of blood on the illustrated books respectively. The bead of blood seeped into it immediately, and disappeared after a few moments. Gao Qingshu took one of them, urged a trace of Zhenyuan to write a few words on the illustrated book with his fingers, and the illustrated book in Chen Xi's hand immediately heated slightly. Chen Xi looked down, and now the words that appeared on his illustrated book were the same as those on Gao Qingshu's piece.
"This should be put away so that it is easy to contact. â
Gao Qingshu explained again, and Chen Xi nodded and put the illustrated book away.
Then Gao Qingshu took out a small cloth bag from his cuffs and handed it to Chen Xi: "This is the spiritual thunder I have made these days, you can carry it with you in case of accidents." â
Chen Xi looked at Gao Qingshu and asked curiously, "Have you rubbed everything clean on your body?"
Gao Qingshu smiled: "That's me who lied to you, I learned it by stealing." â
He took out a spirit thunder and said to Chen Xi: "You have to remember what I say next...... Now the only person I am sure of that the inner sect was related to the tragedy of your family in the first place is this person who can control the spirit thunder. This person is also in charge of the Dark Law Division now, if he hadn't answered at the beginning, I am afraid that the person who holds the Dark Law Division will not be so easy to enter the Inner Sect. You must know that the enchantment was left by Li Lanfeng back then, and ordinary great cultivators have nothing to do. â
Chen Xi's heart tightened, and his expression became stern.
Gao Qingshu continued: "This person is also my senior brother in the Great Mantian Sect. His name is Yu Nu, and he used to be the prince of the Kingdom of Qiu, which was very small and attached to the Zhao State. After the Great Chu Holy Emperor destroyed the Zhao Kingdom, he also destroyed this small country by the way. He was captured, and the Emperor renamed him a slave. Later, this person didn't know how to enter the Great Mantian Sect, and later became acquainted with your father. Within the sect. Your father thought he had a poor background and took good care of him. Who knew this man could be so ruthless...... After the incident of that year, he left the Inner Sect, and he should be in the Dark Law Division. â
"If you run into him, be careful. This man is extremely gifted and has a knack for memorization. Don't let him see your spiritual thunder, or you'll be in danger. I wanted to go to the Imperial Capital City to get rid of this person, but I was worried that no one would answer you when I left and you came back, so I kept him alive. After I leave, I'll get rid of him when the time comes. â
Chen Xi nodded, remembering the name in his heart.
